Martin,

I'm thinking of releasing a theory of mine on the net.  Hopefully, this will
develop into a discussion, where people can add their own comments, etc.

I'm wondering what the best way to do it would be - I want to keep the thing
together, so a news article would probably get too messy.

What I was thinking of was dumping it on your FTP site, receiving comments
by EMail, and updating the file on your site regularly.
Do non-DNA users have access to your site, or do you know a more appropriate
way of doing this ?

Also, I'd planned to setup a mailing list for it.  Can you set it up at DNA
(since I won't be online often enough), or do you know a good programmable
mail handler for windows that I could use ?

What about web pages ?  Can we use the webspace at DNA ?  (I'm not too
worried about this though, since the article is pretty academic, and the Web
seems to be mostly casual "surfers" - Is this true, or have I missed all the
good stuff ?


By the way, how did you get your job at DNA ?  What qualifications do you
have (if it's not too personal) ?  I've been programming for about five
years, but I've no idea about getting into a decent position.

Your job seems pretty cool, by the way. (Apart from the workload you seem to
have...


Anyway, thanks for your time.


Lee.
